Become a Certified Ethical Hacker (C|EH)
Introduction of C|CISO
EC-Council’s Certified Chief Information Security Officer (C|CISO) Program has certified leading information security professionals around the world. A core group of high-level information security executives, the C|CISO Advisory Board, formed the foundation of the program and outlined the content covered by the exam, body of knowledge, and training. Some members of the Board contributed as authors, others as exam writers, others as quality assurance checks, and still others as instructors.
Each segment of the program was developed with the aspiring and sitting CISO in mind and looks to transfer the knowledge of seasoned executives to the next generation of leaders in the areas that are most critical in the development and maintenance of a successful information security program.
Is This CCISO Course For Me?
The Certified Chief Information Security Officer program is the first of its kind certification that recognizes an individual’s accumulated skills in developing and executing an information security management strategy in alignment with organizational goals. C|CISO equips information security leaders with the most effective toolset to defend organizations from cyber-attacks. To rise to the role of the CISO, strong technical knowledge, and experience is more imperative now than ever before but it must be accompanied by the ability to communicate in business value. C|CISOs understand that their information security decisions often have a direct impact on their organization’s operational cost, efficiency, and agility. As organizations introduce new technologies, C|CISOs will develop and communicate a strategy to avoid the potential risks stemming from their implementation to the organization’s operations.
C|CISO is the right choice for you and your career if you:
– Aspire to attain the highest regarded title within the information security profession – CISO
– Already serve as an official CISO
– Or perform CISO functions in their organization without the official
